The investigation is to seek answers to whether maladministration has occurred within the social services in Helsingborg.
There is currently no suspect. We are checking broadly and without preconceptions to form an opinion about what has happened, says prosecutor Claudio Gitterman to SVT's Mission Review.
When the boy was seven years old, his mother accused his father of sexually abusing him in connection with a custody dispute. The police dropped the investigation against the father, but then the mother came up with new information: that the boy himself had committed sexual abuse against a younger sibling.
The social services brought in a care company with special expertise in children as perpetrators, whose therapist assessed that the boy was a danger to his sibling and should be protected from the father. The boy was placed in a youth home and foster home for several years.
Later, other staff within the social services found that there was no evidence that the boy had committed any abuse against other children.
